I wonder what the deeper meaning is here.

Hi, Sophie.
Yes, You are right. The title is an expression invented by a french sociologist; Paul Gilroy. He says the black culture as we know today, grew with the dispersion of black people by the market slaves through the Atlantic Ocean. The black atlantic is a blend of many cultures.
Thank you for your interest.
